Ah Yes, I Love Oscar of Astora from Dark Souls 2 and is Definitely Not from the First Game...

(Do the People from GameRant even know that Oscar is from Dark Souls 1/Remastered and Not 2??????)

decided to leave this straid study unfinished. didnt quite hit my stride while working on it but i think i got a lot out of drawing the hood as well as the generally subtle differences in tone found in the colours 91/365 - 06/01/24

Be honest... who wore it better?

Dark Souls 2 had such a clear and heavy thematic throughline about the pointlessness and waste of empire, the idea that no amount of cruelty carved into land nor flesh, no amount of nobility or valor cast in statues or in song could make a king's name withstand the weight of time. Gwyn might be the lord of cinder, but the people of Drangleic don't even know what that means. Izalith might have created the flame of chaos, but now her city is gone beneath a mountain of ice and called by a new name. Anor Londo is gone. Lordran is gone. Astora, Carim, Thoruland, all gone. Olaphis, the land of Straid's time has come and gone on the same tract of land as Drangleic. The Sunken King, the Iron King, the Ivory King, these men are all gone to such an extent that their names are forgotten even by those who still walk their lands. Drangleic's own king is fading away, and the only remnants of his legacy will be the corpses of giants and crumbled fortresses.

And of the ones who remain in these places, there are only echoes of past lives. Jailers continue to guard the Bastille that has long gone defunct. Miners and work drivers continue to mill around the base of Earthen Peak even though they've long since lost any reason to work. Empty sets of armor still guard over ruined castles because no one exists to tell them they can stop. The life has left them, all that keeps them going is the work they were given so long ago, which has long since lost all meaning to anyone except these empty husks. It's the bleakest form of existence. So many lives were reduced to so little, and for what? The empires of kings, built by the hands of countless men, will all one day be empty.

Bearer of the Curse: We're playing Scrabble it's a nightmare

Lucatiel: Scrabble? Scrabble's fun!

Bearer: When you're playing with Straid it's not. He uses words like "iridium" and I put down "pig"

Improvise! Adapt! Overcome!

I wanted to see what eye color Navlaan had, and to see what kind of hairdo as well. However, I have no idea how to rip models from consol games, so I spent a long while trying to perfect camera angles. Conclusion:

Navlaan has pale, light blue eyes; very close to stonewashed blue

He is also bald

BONUS: Straid’s hair is a classic buzz cut, like this

That moment in time when the Primordial Serpents manifested themselves as Straid of Olaphis...

| Lost Bastille 3 |

| Oh, lookie here. Some poor soul got turned into a garden statue, and left standing right in the door, preventing anyone’s access to the bonfire. Let me tickle him with a branch of certain tree. Maybe it’ll help!

| Yep. It helped. He thanked Inara, and told her that he is a very ancient but still absurdly handsome man and a powerful sorcerer. And he made an innuendo in ten seconds since he began speaking to her. Inara was not amused.                     *                                     *                                          *

| The best spear in the game lies deep below, and I have no key yet to pick it up...  | Oh, and Lucatiel hangs out down below too, for some reason.

| The local birds are a bit too noisy for Inara’s liking. She already planned how she’ll silence them, one bird at a time.   | On a side note - whoever thought that it’d be a good idea to put several of those things as a ‘boss battle’ had no fantasy whatsoever.                         *                                   *                                         *

| Back in Majula, Inara Jones finally put some souls in her magic-related stats, giving her 1 slot for pyromancy. | Things are about to get hot

No effin idea what to call this

Can't call it bimbofication, cause da boys are int builds, anything but bimbos
